Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a separating feeding mechanism, and more particularly to a mechanism that can separate and feed tubular components such as stacked and nested tubes, belonging to the field of textile technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in various operations involving paper cups, the tubes are often stacked and nested together during storage and transfer. Therefore, individual tubes must be separated before operation. Conventional separation methods, such as Chinese Patent CN105752658B "An Automatic Separation Device for Separating Stacked Paper Cups," utilize high-pressure gas to separate the stacked tubes. However, this method suffers from incomplete separation for tubes with open ends. Inspired by Chinese Patent CN202421555007.5 "A Stacked Material Separation Mechanism," our company previously attempted a suction cup method to pull out the tubes. However, this method requires a very tight seal between the suction cup and the inner wall of the tube, and also demands a high-pressure gas source. When the stacked tubes are tightly compressed, the suction is insufficient to pull them out. Therefore, following these attempts, this patent develops a mechanical separation and feeding mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a cylindrical separation and feeding mechanism, which has the advantages of simple structure and reliable separation and feeding.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0005] A cylindrical component separation and feeding mechanism includes a rear tube clamp driven by a rear tube clamp cylinder and a front tube clamp driven by a front tube clamp cylinder. The rear tube clamp cylinder is fixedly installed, and the front tube clamp cylinder is driven by a drive mechanism to move horizontally so that the front tube clamp moves closer to or further away from the rear tube clamp.

[0006] Preferably, the rear tube clamp cylinder is fixedly mounted on a mounting ring, and the mounting ring is fixedly mounted on the frame. The driving mechanism for driving the front tube clamp cylinder includes a front tube clamp guide rail and a front tube clamp slider. The front tube clamp guide rail is fixed on the frame or the mounting ring and passes through the mounting ring. The front tube clamp slider is slidably disposed on the front tube clamp guide rail, and the front tube clamp slider drives the front tube clamp cylinder to move.

[0007] Preferably, the front tube gripper slider is connected to the front tube gripper cylinder via a stacked slider mounting plate and a front tube gripper cylinder mounting seat.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting ring is connected to the rear pipe clamp cylinder via a mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the front tube gripper push cylinder is fixedly connected to the frame or mounting ring via a front tube gripper cylinder connecting foot, and the telescopic rod of the front tube gripper push cylinder is connected to the front tube gripper slider.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This utility model uses two grippers to hold two stacked cylindrical tubes, one fixed and the other driven forward by a drive mechanism. By moving forward, the two cylindrical tubes held by the grippers are separated from each other, thus reliably realizing the separation and feeding operation. The gripper structure is simple, and the assembly and use are convenient and efficient, greatly reducing the cost of use and improving the efficiency of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0014] in:

[0015] Mounting ring 1, mounting plate 2, rear tube clamp cylinder 3, rear tube clamp 4, front tube clamp guide rail 5, front tube clamp slider 6, slider mounting plate 7, front tube clamp cylinder mounting seat 8, front tube clamp cylinder 9, front tube clamp 10, front tube clamp push cylinder 11, front tube clamp cylinder connecting foot 12. Detailed Implementation

[0016] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention relates to a cylindrical component separation and feeding mechanism, which includes an installation ring 1 fixed on the frame. The bottom of the installation ring 1 is connected to a rear tube clamping cylinder 3 through an installation plate 2. The two ends of the rear tube clamping cylinder 3 are vertically connected to rear tube clamping claws 4. The rear tube clamping claws 4 are located above the guide mechanism for introducing cylindrical components. When the guide mechanism inputs stacked cylindrical components, the rear tube clamping claws 4 are used to clamp and fix the second cylindrical component.

[0017] The front tube clamp guide rail 5, which is fixed on the frame, passes through the mounting ring 1. The front tube clamp slider 6 is slidably set on the front tube clamp guide rail 5. The front tube clamp slider 6 is connected to the front tube clamp cylinder 9 through the stacked slider mounting plate 7 and the front tube clamp cylinder mounting seat 8. The two ends of the front tube clamp cylinder 9 are vertically connected to the front tube clamp 10, and the first tube is clamped and fixed by the front tube clamp 10.

[0018] The front tube gripper push cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the frame via the front tube gripper cylinder connecting foot 12. The telescopic rod of the front tube gripper push cylinder 11 is connected to the front tube gripper slider 6. When separation feeding is required, the front tube gripper push cylinder 11 pushes the front tube gripper 10 to hold the first tube and move it forward. At this time, the rear tube gripper 4 still holds the second tube, thereby realizing the separation of the first and second tubes. Then the front tube gripper 10 releases, allowing the first tube to fall down to the subsequent station.

[0019] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0020] The rear tube gripper 4 and the front tube gripper 10 of the feeding mechanism operate simultaneously to clamp the second and first tubes in the first row of tubes respectively. Then, the front tube gripper 10 moves forward with the first tube under the drive of the front tube gripper push cylinder 11. Since the rear tube gripper 4 holds the second tube still, the first tube is pulled out of the second tube. Then the front tube gripper 10 is released, allowing the first tube to fall down to the next work station or be conveyed to the next work station through the conveying mechanism.

[0021] Then, the front tube clamp 10 is reset under the drive of the front tube clamp push cylinder 11, and the rear tube clamp 4 releases the second tube. The push mechanism (cylinder, oil cylinder or electric push rod) on the previous station pushes the tube on the guide mechanism forward, so that the second tube is located at the position of the first tube. At this time, the front tube clamp 10 and the rear tube clamp 4 move simultaneously to clamp the second tube and the third tube respectively, and repeat the cycle to the next labeling action.

[0022] Additionally, it should be noted that the above-described specific implementation is merely an optimized solution of this patent, and any modifications or improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the above concept are within the scope of protection of this patent.
